Weird stuff you remember from your mis-spent yoot

[Ldub]

"Fanner-fifty" toy pistols by Mattel, Schwin "Black Phantom" bicycle, Cushman "Super Eagle" motor scooter. I remember when the New Car Dealer would cover his show room windows so you couldn't see the new model cars before the intro date, and the best customers were shown the cars by invitation only. The women wore formals and the men wore tux's. TV shows taught values not the cr...p on TV today. Shows like "Leave it to Beaver", "Father Knows Best", "The Rifleman", "Howdy Dougie" oops something like that. Movie heros were John Wayne, Gene Autry, Gary Cooper etc. However I will say if you remember the 60's "you were'nt there."

DUDE...you ain't gonna believe this, but I STILL have my "Fanner 50's".
They no longer have the crappy plastic handles, but the rest is ALL there...well, except for the cheap plastic holsters...

Schwinn Orange Peeler was the object of my desire, never got one, but that rat bastard neighbor kid did... (1/4 mile away was "next door")

And the RIFLEMAN?...values?...you bet!



Just watched ElDorado the other night...not a Caddy in sight, but Jimmy Caan sure looked young.

Oh, in closing, I'd like to ask, what were these "sixties" you keep talking about?...
